Springs from lines generated by Grasshopper

My simulation is quite simple : just a bunch of straight lines connected to each other and used as springs.

When I generate those lines within Grasshopper, the simulation seems to run on twice the springs that were input, resulting in something quite different as expected.

But if I input these lines from existing Rhino lines, then the simulation runs fine with just the set of springs that were input.

Am I missing something, or is this a known limitation of Kangaroo ?

Cheers,

Olivier

It appears that the duplication of springs is due to the fact I have two anchor points.

In fact, with only one anchor points, the simulation uses only the springs that I input but if I add a second anchor point, then Kangaroo duplicates the springs...
